Today, we remember all the souls we lost on September 11, 2001, and we wanted to share a story that many might not know.

Art has a way of connecting people and conveying a message, and this is true in many ways for Roy Lichtenstein's "Modern Head" sculpture. In 1996, Modern Head was installed one block from the World Trade Center in New York. The sculpture remained largely undamaged during the September 11, 2001, attacks with only surface scratches. Due to the sculptures limited damage and placement, the FBI temporarily used it as a message board during investigations.

We know that shopping can make for hungry/thirsty work! Make sure you swing by our various food vendors at the 38th Annual Edwards Place Fine Art Fair to satisfy your cravings and fuel you up for this fantastic weekend!

Thank you to Laurie and David Farrell for helping us make this weekend possible!
